Tokyo (TIP): Japanese premier TAKAICHI Sanae is expected to announce Tokyo’s participation in the “Golden Dome” US missile defence system when she meets President Donald Trump next week, a report said Friday. Billed as a next-generation missile defence shield, the Golden Dome for America “will progressively protect our nation from aerial attacks from any foe,” including through space-based interceptors and sensors, Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth said last year. Citing several unnamed government sources, Japan’s Yomiuri daily said Takaichi is expected to discuss the initiative with Trump during their planned March 19 meeting in Washington, and convey to him Japan’s intention to join. The aim is for the allies to jointly develop interceptors and a satellite network as a counterforce to hypersonic glide vehicles (HGV) pursued by China and Russia, the newspaper said.
